I always take time to make an upgrade to my PC & looking around I found Aria.co.uk a company I had not previously used.They have a number of products on a special deal each week & this CPU was listed, it was the cheapest around . The whole process of selecting ,paying & delivery was so easy that it was a pleasure, online shopping as it should be! I have found the product to be everything promised fast & shortens my video encoding time in half upgrading from a E6600.Every game I have tried so far,runs very smooth it is true that a faster CPU makes a difference to graphics in games my video card has had a new lease of life.
